Both items appear to be the same as far as towing capacity and TW. one difference I see is the etrailer is matte black whereas the Curt is gloss black. What other differences are there ? Is one hidden more than the other?

Helpful Expert Reply:
You have spotted the one and only difference between the etrailer Class III Trailer Hitch # e98844 and the Curt # C13200. Absolutely everything except the finish is identical on these trailer hitches, including how they install and where they sit in relation to the rear bumper on your Highlander SE.
I personally like the matte black finish on the etrailer # e98844. It tends to match the aesthetics of the vehicle a little more and is also less prone to visible scratches. I have attached an installation video below that you can follow along with as well.
